Cancellation Policy

Last updated 19 July 2026

Each hotel on Royal Stay sets its own cancellation window. The window is shown on the room card before you confirm the booking and on your confirmation email.

Standard windows

  • Flexible: free cancellation up to 24 hours before check-in.
  • Standard: free cancellation up to 72 hours before check-in.
  • Non-refundable: deposit is not refunded, but you can reschedule once subject to availability.

How to cancel

  1. Sign in and open My Bookings.
  2. Select the booking and choose Cancel booking.
  3. You will receive an instant confirmation by email and WhatsApp.

No-shows

If you do not arrive on the check-in date and have not cancelled, the booking is treated as a no-show and the deposit is retained by the hotel.

Hotel-initiated cancellations

If a hotel cancels your confirmed booking, you receive a full refund and Royal Stay reverses its 10% commission. We will also help you find a comparable stay.
